This was our 2nd time staying at this property. Very good location, so closed to Big Bend Park, and right access to other towns near by. Super comfortable for a party if six. We definitely recommend it!.

It is a nice property, comfortable and equipped with everything you need. The only downside is that it could use a bit more maintenance and cleaning, particularly in the kitchen. Overall, it is a place we would recommend

Amazing!

We loved everything about the property. Close to everywhere we were going. My kids said this was their favorite VRBO/ Air BNB we’ve ever stayed at. Super clean, great view, had ANYTHING you could’ve needed from home, with a grocery store a few minutes down the road. Excellent place to stay.

Great rental!

We chose Rancho Mula Oso because of its proximity to Big Bend National Park. Mula Oso was wonderful and close enough to town that we could run to the market when needed. Highly recommend if you’re looking to visit southern Texas.

Nice roomy home in spectacular location

We needed a 3 bed 2 bath home for our group of 4 adults and one child over spring break. Rancho Mula Oso fit the bill. Beds are comfortable and the house is well equipped with plenty of bath linens and dishes in a full kitchen. The outside area out back is perfect for enjoying the gorgeous night skies. We really enjoy staying in this area.

Beautiful high desert stay

We loved our time at Rancho Mula Oso. The landscape and the night sky are something to behold. The house was clean, uniquely decorated, and spacious. The hosts were helpful and provided everything we needed. We hiked in the park, took a dip in the hot springs, swam in the Rio Grande, and had a wonderful sunset horseback ride at Big Bend Stables. Would love to visit again in the future.

Starlite nights

It was a good stay and far enough from light pollution. This is a simple accommodation, but nicely adequate and clean, exactly what we were looking for. The back porch accommodated us all with table and chairs as well as the kitchen. 8 of us stayed, and this was the first time in the Big Bend area for 5 of our group. We chose a moonless weekend and the weather cooperated perfectly. If you are looking for a somewhat secluded place with access by a non 4WD vehicle, this is a good choice. It is a 10 minute drive down a paved highway to Study Butte for fuel and groceries. We had a great time.

Fantastic!

We had a fantastic time. There are tons of outdoor seating so you can look at the stars and enjoy the vastness of the sky. The house was super clean. We had 5 adults and 4 kids, so we needed the overflow camper on the side. It was nice that it was attached by a deck. None of us have ever been to that area before. When we arrived, it was dark, and we had a hard time trying to find the entrance. When they say it’s dark, it’s DARK! Highly recommend arriving for the first time in the daylight lol. Loved the area and definitely want to go back!

Unique Dark Skies Adventure

We were four adult friends visiting Big Bend. This house, like all the surrounding area is remote and rural, which we prefer. The official Dark Skies designation of the area made star gazing wonderful. There was great outdoor seating all around the house. The house is older but fine. Water conservation is a must and there is evidence of the hardness of the water. But we didn’t mind. The house was well supplied with nice dishes, a really great propane grill, lots of spices, a good air conditioning system, lots of bottled water, paper supplies, coffee and supplies, and laundry soap. The house is roomy. Communication with the landlords was very good. We loved the birds in the yard. Most of the beds were comfortable. We would stay again.

Enjoyed the space we had for 10 guests. Everything was clean but for the pots, pans & dish wear (at least to our standards), we didn't mind washing everything before we used the items. Hosts were most generous with all the supplies and linens left for the guests. We also liked the proximity of the grocery store and gas station, even though we only used once. Hosts gave excellent pre stay instructions which we followed specially the notes on shopping in Alpine before arrival, Lowes Grocery store has everything you'll need for your stay with plenty of variety. The house also has an AC system that delivers in the heat. Outdoor furniture is plentiful, with hammocks for evening star gazing, full BBQ setup for dinning outdoors, which I wish we'd utilized. A couple of negatives (1) the additional camper living space, adequate but detached from the house, loud AC unit. (2) car port got not accommodate our 15-passenger sprinter van, too low, so van baked in the sun. All in all, we had an excellent time at the property, would recommend to any large group wanting to visit Big Bend.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was clean, large, well furnished, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and awesome outside areas. The purpose of our trip was to visit Big Bend National Park and this home provided a great location for that. We loved coming home after a long day of hiking and relaxing at this nice property.
